Life is full of baby steps... many, many baby steps
You should have seen her face when she looked at the title of the magazine
It would have never occurred,
this feeling of empowerment,
Ii the stupid magazine would have just rung up correctly on the register
But no..
Instead it beeped twice and she scanned the cover for a barcode, for a reason it didn't register
Instead she found some surprising words underneath the title
describing exactly what audience the magazine serves
THE BEST-SELLING LESBIAN MAGAZINE
Wonderful
Why is it always the "embarrassing" things, or at least the ones you want to keep on the down-low that don't work at the cash register.
Its always these items that they either have to type the barcode in by hand or call on the intercom to get their manager's attention
So it was one of those
Like usual
But I didn't care
It made me smile
It made me giggle inside
and when I left
when I took my bag from her hand
I truly meant what I said
"Thank you"
Because she gave me that boost
that much needed push for me to take the next step
As I slid my avaitors onto my face and walked through the heavy green doors into the parking lot
I wasn't just walking to my car
I was bouncing
and beaming from ear to ear
"You did it Kelsi"
I did it
